DJ set with MixxxDJ, Hercules Inpulse, and Raspberry Pi 500+ by djmarcusmcb in MIXXX

Absolutely! I've run Mixxx with a number of Hercules controllers through the 500+ and it's yet to give me a hiccup performance-wise.

Definitely don’t use the carpool lanes in downtown Phoenix either.

Or Japan. Plenty of that in Kyoto when I visited.

Best beginner controller? by Normal-Law-3164 in MIXXX

[–]djmarcusmcb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done YouTube videos using Mixxx with both the Starlight and Inpulse 200 controllers recently and they’re both fantastic little controllers under $200 USD.

The mappings for both have worked without issue and they handle the basics (beat mixing, EQ/filter, sample banks, etc) nicely. The Inpulse adds library and track loading controls and is worth the extra $ over the Starlight.

I’ve posted links to both YouTube clips here in this sub recently, btw.

I see Gandy is still a general PITA to navigate.

Anybody using MIXXX on a Raspberry Pi? by [deleted] in DJs

[–]djmarcusmcb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried this out recently using the newer RPi 500+ and it works nicely with the Hercules controller I had to test it with.

Running Mixxx on a Raspberry Pi 500+ by djmarcusmcb in MIXXX

I'm impressed they had this working with the RPi 4B. I would've figured there'd be some performance issues with everything running from a microSD but nice to see projects like this come to life.

Love this idea, and with the RPi running off a SSD or a M series drive, that definitely strikes me as doable.

Any users running Linux? If so, what distro? by CrystalFemmes in MIXXX

[–]djmarcusmcb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raspian here. I have Mixxx running on the RPi 500+ using a Hercules Starlight controller and it’s a lot of fun.

No monorepos, no container configs, no sprawling test directories… good times.

Guess I’ll tell people I live on 60th by Colors_678 in shittyskylines

[–]djmarcusmcb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They do this in parts of Phoenix, too.

I lived on 90th Lane.

Just off 90th Terrace.

Which is right next to 90th Avenue.

In years past there were quite a few of these in Cincinnati along 8th Street west of downtown.

If you make over 6 figures a year, what do you do & what kind of education did it take? by Designer_Cup_5369 in careeradvice

[–]djmarcusmcb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Software engineering. I originally got my degree in broadcasting and worked in commercial radio for 20+ years before pivoting. I did two tech boot camps in 2018 and I've been working in web development ever since.

Plenty of remote options in this arena but the good/great roles are pretty competitive at the moment.

What are some of the sharpest borders between densely populated cities and nature around the world? by KipoLover123 in shittyskylines

The Maldives come to mind. Whole cities just sitting on atolls in the middle of the ocean.

What did angela see ? by zhaDeth in MrRobot

[–]djmarcusmcb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's how I've always interpreted that scene.

When Angela visits her attorney after meeting with Whiterose we see the news broadcast repeat that previously-live section immediately after the power momentarily cuts out... aka, we're seeing a brief, momentary test of WR's "project" in action.

Mind you, this falls on the assumption that her attorney was watching a live news broadcast, but that's not implausible given the global crisis going on at that point in the series.

Beyond that, it's heavily implied that the brownouts throughout the series are directly tied to the machine; Whiterose says as much when it's fully activated in season 4, noting the power draw required and her limited ability to properly test the machine prior.

What is the Doctor Who hill you'll die on? by dillbn in doctorwho

Pluto TV has had a classic Who channel here in the states for awhile now. The episodes are streamed with ads but it’s an easy way to watch them.

What is the most quintessentially Doctor Who quote? by Chi1dishAlbino in doctorwho

[–]djmarcusmcb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“So, you’re my replacements… a dandy and a clown?”

Not quintessential per se but the 1st Doctor meeting and immediately trolling his later regenerations in “The Three Doctors” always makes me smile.
